About Sevenoaks Wildlife Reserve
Kent Wildlife Trust’s Sevenoaks Wildlife Reserve was the first gravel pit developed for nature conservation: 73 hectares of five lakes, woodland, ponds, grassland and reed beds, with the River Darent running through the north. Well over 2,000 species have been recorded, from wintering wildfowl and waders to dragonflies and glow-worms; the Jeffery Harrison Visitor Centre explains the site.
